Final: Part1

          I liked a lot of things in this class it was very interesting. I liked that every day we learned something new. For example like in a student success statement. Or when we learned about new websites that can help us in the future. I did not dislike anything about this class. To improve this class we should lean more things about the computers or more websites we can use. Yes I did do my best in this class. Yes I am reading my life planning goals daily for two minutes, I just take some time to look through them. Yes I am committed to be a CTR  person because I want to do right things, and if you Ctr then good things will come your way. I will always remember to choose the right.  

Student Success Statement

“Of all the choices you will ever make, one choice supersedes all others-the ultimate choice. This one choice will help you to always make correct decisions. This one choice, The Ultimate Choice, is your keystone to being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other choice. THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is :

                     To be a CTR Person- to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!"

Reflection:

          I think this statement is great. I agree with this quote because if you always choose the right then good things will come your way and you achieve everything. If you choose the right then you are going down the perfect path that leads you to every goal and achieving every goal you have set for yourself. But if you choose the wrong then you will go down a dark and terrible path and will never accomplish nothing in life. Choosing the right is the light that will save you and help you all the way through your life. 

Student Success Statement

“ Success is not an accident. Success is actually a choice. Are the habits you have today on par with the dreams you have tomorrow?”

-Alan Stein

Reflection:

          I think this quote by Alan Stein is great. I completely agree with Alan Stein because, if you choose to be successful then you will become a successful person. If you chose to be a unsuccessful person and don’t try and give up then you will fail and that was your fault and not an “accident”. Every accident is made with intentions that you made and you can’t blame on something for your own doings. If you try hard enough and never give up then you will successful in life. 

Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

-Thomas Carlyle

Reflection:

        I think this quote by Thomas Carlyle is completely true. This statement is true because if you have no goal then you have no plans for the future and if you have no plans for the future then you are lost and have no where to go. Just like if a boat didn’t have a rudder then it would have no plans and you be lost and stranded because it has no direction. But if you do have a goal then you have plans to go either direction and make it to your goal. If a boat has a rudder than it has direction and can make it to its destination. If you set your goal then you will soon make it to your destination and keep on going just like a ship.   

Student Success Statement

“If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in world.

Conclusion:

If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in the world.”

-Chinese Proverb

Reflection:

        I think that this quote by the Chinese proverb is outstanding. I also think more people should look at this statement and live by it because it teaches us a great lesson. You can’t make peace in the world unless you start small by making peace with yourself and then continue on and soon enough the peace will spread.

Student Success Statement

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

-Sophocles

Reflection:

          I think this quote by Sophocles is great. I completely agree with this statement because it is true because it is better to not win but you tried your best than not trying at all or even cheating and winning. For example if you are a professional basketball player and you take drugs to do better at the finals games and you win is horrible because you are playing a hardworking team and you win but still feel like a loser. But if you try hard enough and you lose its okay because by you losing you will get better at the game.   

1. Memorial Day

   A day on which those who died in active military service are remembered, traditionally observed on May 30 but now officially observed on the last Monday in May. Memorial Day started as an event to honor Union soldiers, who had died during the American Civil War. It was inspired by the way people in the Southern states honored their dead. After World War I, it was extended to include all men and women, who died in any war or military action. Memorial Day is Monday May 25. Ways to honor/celebration memorial day is by going to a place where they honor the military like an event they’re having or even by having a party or a small gathering.

Student Success Statement

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

-Wilford Woodruff

Reflection:
          I think this statement by Wilford Woodruff is outstanding. I completely agree with Wilford Woodruff, because it is true you can never get anything good out doing what’s wrong. For example if you cheat on test by copying off of someone else then you will get nothing good out of it, all you will get is regret and feel ashamed. But if you do something good like study for a test then you will feel good and get something good from it like a higher grade and respect.

Video Reflection: "Nicest Man in the World"

    Today we watched a video about a man named Patrick Morgan who is from Florida. Patrick Morgan works at a airport. While he was working he found an Ipad lying there he picked it up and found thousands of dollars in the case. Patrick then looked for the rightful owner and contacted him to give him his Ipad and money. The owner gave him $60 dollars as a reward, Patrick did not keep the money for himself he gave it to a homeless woman. People then found about his good deeds and then gave him a reward for his hard work and $623 dollar check. I thought this was a great video it really shows great character.

Student Success Statement
"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self- respect, dignity (self-worth), integerity, and self-esteem."

-Dr.Laura Schlessinger 

Reflection:

            I think this statement by Dr.Laura Schlessinger is great. I completely agree with this quote, because if you do something good you feel amazing and it makes you a better person. So the more you do good then the better you will feel and it will stay with you it helps you gain respect and raises up your self-esteem. But if you do wrong then you will feel horrible and no one will respect you. That feeling of horribleness will stick with you and it will completely lower your self-esteem.

Video Reflection:

          We watched a video about a prisoner named Eric Smallridge and he was in prison because he was drinking and driving. While he was drinking and driving he killed two girls that he crashed into named Megan and Lisa. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison for killing these two girls. One of the victims mother Renee hated the man who killed her daughter for many years and then she realized something. She realized that holding a grudge for Eric Smallridge wouldn't do any good for her so she made a crazy decision. Renee went to the judge and told them that she would like to reduce Eric's sentence because she forgave him for what he did. She sent him a letter telling him why she did that and he wrote back to her many times apologizing for the horrible thing he did. Now they both go to high schools and talk about the consequences of drinking and driving. I thought that this video was great because it was very different and not something you would expect. I did not expect that she was going to fight for his sentence to be reduced.

Student Success Statement

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”

-Alan Paton  

Reflection:

        I think this quote by Alan Paton is great. It is absolutely true, because you can never truly get over what someone has done to you until you forgive and forget. If you don’t then you will always hold a grudge for that person. The person who did you wrong probably feels bad about what they did and they want to make it up to you then you should at least give them a chance. Everyone deserves a second chance.   

Student Success Statement

“Dare to stand alone.”

-Thomas S. Monson

Reflection:

        I think this quote by Thomas S. Monson is great. I think this statement is great because if you stand alone then you won’t be getting into any of the consequences others might get into. If you don’t think what others or your friends are doing is right then stand up and walk away from that because you know once they get caught you won’t be a part of that. If you stand alone then everything will be fine and nothing bad will ever effect your life or your future. 

San Antonio Spurs

       The San Antonio Spurs are an American professional basketball team based in San Antonio, Texas. They are part of the Southwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). They are the current NBA champions. The Spurs are one of four former American Basketball Association teams to remain intact in the NBA after the 1976 ABA–NBA merger and the only former ABA team to have won an NBA championship. The Spurs' five NBA championships are the fourth most in history behind only the Boston Celtics (17), Los Angeles Lakers (16), and Chicago Bulls (6). The Spurs currently rank first among active franchises for the highest winning percentage in NBA history. San Antonio is the home to the best team on the NBA  the Spurs with their amazing coach Gregg Popovich with him as their coach they have winning streaks winning the finals and becoming MVP’s. They have played tough games against the Miami Heat and other teams and they still manage to win the game with out cheating. They’re motto is “Built not Bought” because the Spurs are built with strong players and are loyal to their players by keeping them for many years. The best Players are big 3 which has Tim Duncan ( the oldest member), Parker, and Ginobili without Big 3 the team would be nothing because they are the whole structure of the team. They also have more newer players like number 14 Danny Green who is amazing at making 3 pointers and whenever the team is down points he always comes through and makes the shots. The Spurs are my all time favorite NBA team and I hope to see them play and win the game this Saturday! #Spursnation

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

-          Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection:

        I think this quote by Theodore Roosevelt is great. I agree with this statement because it is true no matter what decision you always need to do the right thing. It can be the toughest decision but you will always need to do what’s right no matter what. Soon enough because of that decision it will come back and repay you for your good doings. 

Medical Surveillance Technician

Some of their job duties include reassembling equipment, replacing defective parts and maintaining records of labor time. Lifting heavy equipment and working in awkward positions might be required.

Education:

        Taking courses in electronics at community colleges or technical schools can be beneficial to aspiring surveillance technicians. Though a high school diploma may be sufficient for some jobs, many employers prefer to hire candidates who have taken specialized college courses. Programs in electronics or electrical engineering technology at the 2-year level will provide surveillance technicians with a background in circuit design and implementation, electronics installation, measurements and electrical systems.

Reflection:

          No I don’t think I would like to be a Medical Surveillance Technician. I wouldn’t like to become one of these because it doesn’t seem very interesting or something I would like to do. They don’t get paid a lot so I don’t think I would be a Medical Surveillance Technician. 

Video Reflection:
       The video we learned about a doctor named Doctor Bob in New York. He works in a place that has lots of poverty and the patients cant afford medical care. Since they can't afford insurance or medicine any medical car he pays for it all. He helps out his patients free of charge he pays for their medicine and any other things they might need. For example he also pays for non medical needs like one family couldn't afford to buy gifts for Christmas so he bought their kids a present, also he bought one of his patients a cake for her birthday. All his earnings go straight to his patients and hardly uses it for him self. I think this story is amazing and it's nice to know that there is people like that in the world.

Video Reflection:

      Today we watched a video about two softball teams Western Oregon and Central Washington. In the team for Western Oregon there was a player who never made any home runs her name was Sara. Until one day she finally hit the ball to make a home run and she was running and as she was running she messed up her knee so she couldn't move from base and stayed laying on the base. The rules didnt let her team mates pick her up or help her out so two players from the other team Central Washington decided to ask if it was okay to help her out. The two players Mallory and Liz went to Sara and carried her around so that she would touch each base and make it to the last base for a home run. I thought this video was great because it showed true character wen you least expect it. It was very touching because the players from the other team helped out Sara out to make it to home run.

Student Success Statement

“It’s a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.”

-          Pam Knox

Reflection:

        I think this statement by Pam Knox is great. I completely agree with this quote because character is the most important trait a person can have. If someone has great character and does right things then they automatically are a great person. For example if someone drops they’re things in the hall way then a person with great character will help them out and pick them up.

“What you see is what you get”

-Anonymous

Reflection:

        I think that this quote is great. I completely agree with this statement because if you don’t believe in yourself and you see yourself failing then then that’s what’s going to happen you are going to put yourself down and start to fail. But if you see yourself doing great things then you will accomplish them and achieve many things.
